Face
I
Honorez le […] du pied pareil à un lotus de Dhūrjaṭi, illuminé par les rayons des pierreries que portent sur la tête les premiers des Asuras et les premiers des dieux prosternés devant lui.
II
Il y avait un roi des rois qui, […] loué pour son éclat, […] le pied […] sur les têtes des rois.
III
Nommé Śrī Harṣavarman, fils de Śrī Yaśovarman, aimé d’une Śrī (d’une fortune) toute jeune, il brillait comme un séjour de Śrī (de la fortune).
IV
Ce roi des rois des Kamvujas, qui voyait l’océan de ses qualités chanté par le monde entier, a donné à l’Adrivyādhapureśa six femmes charmantes pour chaque quinzaine.
Translation into French by Cœdès 1964
(A1–A4) […]
I
Puisse vous protéger l’abondant pollen de ce lotus qu’est le pied de Dhūrjaṭi, qui excite les rayons des pierreries que portent sur la tête les premiers des Asura et les premiers des dieux prosternés devant lui.
II
Il y eut un roi, dont l’éclat proclame la gloire, et qui posa ces jeunes arbres qu’étaient ses pieds sur la tête des rois (ou des : montagnes).
III
Nommé Śrī Harṣavarman, fils de Śrī Yaśovarman, aimé d’une Śrī (ou : d’une fortune) toute jeune, il brillait comme un séjour de la Fortune (ou : comme Śrīnivāsa = Kr̥ṣṇa).
IV
Ce roi des rois des Kambuja qui voyait l océan de ses qualités chanté par le monde entier, a donné au Seigneur de Vyādhapura sur la montagne six femmes charmantes pour chaque quinzaine.
(B1–B3) Richesses […] un endroit au bout de la berge. Alors Teṅ […]
(B4–B9) […]tapura eut une enfant nommée Teṅ Kr̥ṣṇa […] eut […] se mettre entièrement au service de Kamsteṅ Śrī Jayasiṁhavarman, informer […] offrir à perpétuité pour venir servir le Kamrateṅ Añ à la place du saint corps. Teṅ Bhava, Teṅ Kr̥s, Teṅ Rudrānī, Teṅ […], Teṅ […], Teṅ Sarasvatī obtinrent toutes de la faveur royale […] de servir le K. A.

George Cœdès does not translate the Khmer passage at the end of the first Face: 834 śakka gi nu thve pūjā. An English translation of the passage would be: 834 Śaka. At that time, a worship was conducted.
